Finnish

Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *lupa, borrowed from Proto-Germanic *lubą (“praise”) (note the descendant Old Norse lof (“praise, permission”)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewbʰ- (“to love”). Attested since the time of Mikael Agricola (16th century).

• Rhymes: -upɑ
• Syllabification^(key): lu‧pa

Noun

lupa

1. permission

   I have permission to be absent from the school today.

   Minulla on lupa ampumiseen.

   I have permission to shoot.

2. license, permit

Usage notes

That one has permission can always be expressed with the active first infinitive ("base form") of the verb, like olla in the first example above. Sometimes, especially if there are no other specifiers in addition to the verb, the illative of the active fourth infinitive is also accepted, like ampumiseen in the second example.

The feminine version of lupus. The sense “prostitute” is either a comparison of the prostitutes' predation on men to the wolf's rapacity, as also in Isidore's (often fanciful) opinion, or a reference to the she-wolf's uncleanliness and promiscuity (often culturally conflated), parallelled in English bitch.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈlu.pa/,
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈlu.pa/,

Noun

lupa f (genitive lupae); first declension

1. she-wolf
